Beautifully done, Jurek. Superb paintwork and finish.

 

A wise decision to replace the Tamiya canopy with the Taurus vacform. Not just because of the added clarity, but the multi part offering from Tamiya is difficult to line up.

Yes, but Taurus is not perfect. It is thick, clarity like Tamiya, It wins with no connections, and better bubbles.

Absolutely beautiful! Amazed by the variation and interest worked into a 1 colour scheme.

 

May I ask what approach you took with the camera lenses? Love how they seem to glow through the clear parts. 

 

Combination of two things: 

Lens glass - Nail Art Stickers Decorations Mirror Glass 

inside - natural chrome hemisphere - 3D nail art

Jurek thank you for submitting this.  A couple of questions: you said the wheel wheel was resin—or was it photo etch?  It is, next to the briliant finish, the highlight of the beautiful build. Did you use a wash of oils? Finally the glass over the lenses—did you cut them out or clear sheet plastic? Thank you again.

From the last... fuselage glass over lenses - OOB. Inside lenses - cut with opalescent foil (Nail Art Stickers Decorations Mirror Glass)

About weathering, mostly I use AK wash, and the last one... Wheel bay- Aires4208
